Full disclosure: I don’t like football. And I find the NFL’s stances on issues like player safety and domestic violence to be shameful. So I really don’t have any business busting out the hot sports takes on #Deflategate. Which is why I had Kevin Paul Dupont from the Boston Globe on with me today. He offered some interesting perspective on Tom Brady’s recent predicament, his legacy as a hero of Boston sports, and football fandom and fantasy. More

Boston.com’s Chad Finn covered Pedro Martinez and his induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame over the weekend. He put this piece together, and joined Steve Silva and I with a firsthand account, some Pedro memories and musings, and more from this past weekend. More

For years, I’ve extolled the virtues of my favorite Red Sox player, Cy Young, the greatest pitcher OF ALL TIME (not debatable: they named the damn award after him). Last Sunday, my pal Kevin Paul Dupont wrote about ol’ Denton True being snubbed by Sox fans in MLB’s ‘Franchise Four.’ I feel vindicated. I told KPD so, and we discussed Cy, Sox fans, and this year’s sad squad. More

Chad Finn made the case that the Sox should deal for Cole Hamels. And that got Steve Silva and me thinking: is there anyone else the Sox should be wheeling and dealing to bring to Boston? Or, more importantly, who of the current underachieving corps would we like to see gone by the July 31 trade deadline? More

We started this week’s Red Sox conversation with Steve Silva‘s piece on the All-Star Game voting. Can you blame fans for not wanting any Sox to start? The team has been playing better, though; Clay Buchholz, in particular. I see this as a problem, and Chad Finn tends to agree with me. Listen to find out why. More

Perfect timing: Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe joined me in studio as NHL free agency was getting underway. Of course, the Bruins had made a flurry of moves leading up to today. Dupes and I talked Hamilton, Lucic, Rinaldo, and more, trying like mad to figure out the Bruins’ master plan. More

The NHL just announced the salary cap for the 2015-2016 season, and the Bruins have very little wiggle room. Kevin Paul Dupont thinks a big move with a big name could be coming to free up more space. And he had some thoughts to share on the NHL’s plan to implement a 5-minute, 3-on-3 OT period. More

Steve Silva started us off with news from Yahoo Sports’ Jeff Passan: Red Sox veterans are growing weary of Hanley Ramriez. But isn’t this the Hanley we all expected? I said that yesterday’s Red Sox performance in Kansas City was what I’ve been expecting all season long, from the offensive fireworks to Wade Miley’s gutsy-yet-average performance. So yes, lot’s to talk about this week. And we wrapped it all up with tip of the hat to Chad Finn for his latest piece, which is a must-read. Especially if you’re a dad. More

Steve Silva from Boston.com Sports requested airtime today, and I was more than happy to oblige. He had some thoughts to share on Pablo Sandoval of the Boston Red Sox taking a potty break during a game this past week, busting out his phone, and liking a few posts on Instagram. So basically, Kung Fu Panda is just like you & me. More
